Protosequence (Band Interview)

Protosequence was just an idea in our original vocalists head. After meeting Kyle, Marshall brought all the members (Logan, Parker, Kyle, Ryan) together to form Protosequence. After some time Joe was introduced into the band as the current vocalist. Once we secured this line up Protosequence were introduced into the Edmonton music scene. From there we toured throughout Alberta and dabbled into BC. As we progressed Ryan wanted to explore more of his life and that is where Jacob Teeple stepped up as our current bassist. 2017 has been a big year for us and looking forward to 2018.

What’s your musical history? (Trained or Amateur)?

We are all self taught musicians. Kyle in the last few years has been enrolled into Grant MacEwan jazz guitar program.

So what can you tell us about your latest album? (Inspiration. Sound. Style.)

Biophagous is a collaborative effort among all the members of the band. We drew influences from several genres, trying to mould them into a cohesive sound. Everything from Tech-death, to deathcore and even some progressive metalcore.

How did you go about making it?

We wrote the songs together in the jam space and then contacted Peter Zawalski for help with pre programming drums. After this was completed we went into Hillbilly Wizard Sound with Greg Wright to record drums and vocals. Tylor Dory tracked guitars and piano. Then we sent the album off to Chris Foster with First Strike Recordings for mixing and mastering.

Anything you’ve learnt as you’ve gone along? Or have you simply tried a bit of everything to see how it works?

Recording Pre-Pro and writing beyond our capabilities has proven to be a beneficial process. Also having a strict jam schedule.
